JNU PhD Entrance Exam
During the press conference, Santishree D Pandit declared that they will deploy the previous examination conduct policy as the majority of people agreed upon JNU as the major conducting agency for the PhD entrance exam.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) had been conducting the examination for the last three years. Candidates seeking admission into PhD programmes will have to mandatorily appear in the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode. Over the last year, teachers and students highlighted several problems with the NTA-led examination.
Earlier this year, the JNU Teachers’ Association had allegedly stated that admissions to the varsity’s prestigious PhD programmes were being administered with appalling shabbiness.
The JNU Students’ Union had also staged a demonstration demanding that the academic autonomy of universities be restored and the responsibility of conducting examinations be given back to the varsity. JNU is likely to organize the entrance exam soon.
